Ocosingo, Chiapas

Chiapas is the Mexican state where the echoes from the past are more evident and the indigenous population is more numerous. We receive a further confirmation of this fact in Ocosingo: it is a quite but lively market, where many people from the nearby villages and communities come to sell land products and craftsmanship. We perfectly know that in the valleys around us the world is divided in two parts, but we are intentionally visiting these places without preconceptions. In addition, sometimes it seems quite difficult to talk with people about these themes… in the market “Tianguis campesino”, women who sell goods surrounded by their sons, give us sweet and unforgettable smiles. We are in a new world, which causes us deep emotions.
